Station 1 –To find the % divide the part by the whole and multiply by 100, round to the closest whole number. Please show ALL calculations on a separate piece of paper.

Example: % Blue = 12 /31 x100 = 38%.

Station 2 – Create bar graphs for the shoe sides of each group member and the average shoe sizes of the males and females in the class

Station 3 – Create bar graphs for the height of each group member and the average heigh of the males and females in the class

Station 4 – plot a multiple line graph that shows the density (volume vs mass) of each of the books
